Dinner At Restoran Sipu Claypot Chicken Rice, Bercham

This was a Friday. We had to go to Ipoh town and ended up having lunch at the old Kopitiam Sum Ho Lok at Persiaran Greenhill.

My colleagues and I will regularly patronize this stall when we were working. The stall closes at about 1pm and we were there at about 12:30pm.

~~~~~

For dinner, we went to try out the claypot chicken rice in Bercham which a friend recommended.

There were 4 of us and we ordered the following items.

Claypot noodle (yee mee) - small pot @ RM8.

Fish balls - 6 pieces for RM10.

Claypot chicken rice - Big @ RM17.

Drinks - RM3.70

Total cost of dinner - RM47.70

Opposite the restaurant, by the roadside is a papaya tree with many small papayas.

Managed to take a snapshot of this evening sky from a moving car on our way home.

What do you think the cloud formation looks like?

I saw this mural in Heritage Town Cafe in Gopeng.

Come before him with thankful hearts.

Let us sing him psalms and praise.

For the Lord is a great God, the great King of all gods.

He controls the formation of the depths of the earth and

the mightiest mountains; all are his.

Lunch At Restoran Char Siew Yoong, Jalan Peel, Kuala Lumpur

This was the 3rd and last day in Semenyih. At about 11am, we drove out from Semenyih to Cheras. We have arranged to have lunch with elder son at Restoran Char Yoong, Jalan Peel.

We were ahead of the peak lunch hour so we were able to get a big table to accommodate 7 of us. By about 11:45am, customers have to wait to be seated.

We ordered 2 plates of their "melt-in-the mouth" char siew.

The "melt-in-the mouth" part is actually the fat part.

1 plate roast pork with crunchy skin.

Braised chicken feet.

This may seem gross to some but this is hubby's favourite dish. This used to be a cheap dish but now it is considered a delicacy to some people.

2 bowls of sweet sour mustard green aka choy keok.

This place is known for their "melt-in-the mouth" bbq pork or char siew.

Non-stop chopping of roast pork and bbq pork.

After lunch, we were taken to K.L. Sentral where we waited for our train.

We were early so we had some time to enjoy some coffee with our friends.

Thanks to our friends for their time and hospitability during our 3D2N stay with them. Some even took leave to spend time with us.

This was a wonderful and memorable time spent with our friends and our sons.

Our train departed from KL Sentral at 3pm sharp and we reached Ipoh at about 5:45pm. We had dinner at WK Claypot Chicken rice before going home. We didn't want to wait for the claypot rice so we ordered the ready cooked dishes and rice.

Sweet sour pork rib.

Chicken curry.

Sweet sour mustard green.

This is the 2nd time we had this dish but cooked differently.

I saw this antique phone at the lobby of a hotel in Penang that we stayed in.

A new Big Apple nursery & kindergarten in our area. Not sure if this is a new extension to the existing one which is behind this building.

For you have a new life.

It was not passed on to you from your parents,

for the life they gave you will fade away.

This new one will last forever, for it comes from Christ,

Dry Curry Noodle, Stewed Chicken Feet & Blanched Broccoli

Our day started with a gloomy sky.

Morning walk started at about 6:58am.

View of Kledang Hill at 7:16am.

Dry curry noodle at Restoran Yee Fatt, Jalan Kampar.

This is the only place that I will order dry curry noodle with curry chicken with bbq pork (char siew). I like their thick curry gravy.

Skinny, under nourished Celtuce Lettuce.

First time growing this. I should have sowed the seeds in a bigger pot.

What a waste, I left the Celtuce Lettuce to grow until it flowered. I finally got rid of them when I tidied up my garden yesterday evening.

These are my taro plants. Hope to harvest some taro from these plants.

Stewed chicken feet with dried shiitake mushrooms, carrot and etc.

This is one of hubby's favourite dishes. Sorry, it may be gross to some people but this dish is packed with collagen. The chicken feet provide plenty of cartilage and tendons which is good for the skin and help to relieve joint pain.

Blanched broccoli and carrot, drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce.

Instead of steamed rice, I cooked dried non-fried instant noodle (Cintan brand).

We finally had our booster dose 10 days ago. Thanks to a dear friend, we got our preferred booster dose from this place. Let it be 3 doses of the same type. We reached there about 2pm and joined the short queue with only 4 to 5 people before us. Let this booster be the last!

Yes, our natural lives will fade as grass does

when it becomes all brown and dry.

All our greatness is like a flower that droops and falls;

but the Word of the Lord will last forever.

And his message is the Good News that was preached to you.

Vegetable Dumplings, Chinese Crullers & Peanut Pancake

This was a Friday. The day started with a golden sunrise.

When I took this snapshot, I didn't notice that the lamp post was right in right of the sun.

~~~~~

I bought the following items for our breakfast and lunch.

For breakfast, I bought 2 sets of vegetable dumplings (yam bean filling) , 1 set of vegetable dumplings (Chinese chives filling) and 1 set of fried savoury kuih. I can choose any 4 sets from the table for RM10 or pay RM3 for 1 set. 

These are sold for RM1.10 per piece.

2 Chinese crullers and 2 "horse shoe" (ma keok).

These 2 are my favourites.

2 pieces of peanut pancakes.

I think this is RM1 per piece.

Crushed peanuts, sugar and margarine as filling.

~~~~~

Noodle for dinner.

Instant noodle with stewed chicken feet (extra from the previous day's dinner).

This is hubby's favourite.

Indian Style Fried Beehoon, Assam Laksa & Stewed Chicken Feet

The morning was nice and cool because there was a heavy downpour the night before. 

Mist on Kledang Hill at 8:10am.

Our favourite fried beehoon with sambal chicken drumstick (Indian style).

White bougainvillea with variegated leaves in front of my house.

Hubby had dentist appointment and we stopped to buy lunch on the way home. The stall was waiting to close and we bought the last bowl of assam laksa, the remaining stuffed ingredients and hubby ordered noodle with soy sauce. The lady boss gave us all the laksa noodle and remaining gravy.

For you are still only baby Christians,

controlled by your own desires, not God's.

When you are jealous of one another and

divide up into quarreling groups,

doesn't that prove you are still babies,

wanting your own way?

In fact, you are acting like people

who don't belong to the Lord at all.
